I went back today and confronted the officer that what he gave me is fake without BIOMETRICS, he took me to the Assistant Commissioner who explained that the capture and biometric stuff was bringing various issues and the IGP has directed that this be issued and a communication would be sent before end of next week. He gave me his number if I am disturbed to call him.

The attached is what my 10k and 2k at the gate bought.

For some days now I have been going to Awka Area Command for my tinted permit. The officer in charge told us that the processing cost is N5000 with an additional recharge card of N1000 to check the authenticity of the car registration details online.

But the police that stops us on the road said it is free and most people are saying it is free.

Now Awka does a minimum 30 cars every day. In fact the first 30 persons are attended to and the rest will be told to go till the next day. Now people come as a early as 5,6,6:30am to book a space.

So N1000 recharge card by 30 is N30,000.00 plus N5000 cash payment which is N150,000.00. So they make a minimum of N180,000.00 daily.

If they do it from Monday till Friday it means they generate unaccounted N3.6Million monthly. And with the rush this is just possible.

Please for those in Nairaland that are going for the tinted permit or have gone, We will like to know the cost in your area so we can compare and contrast. We will also like to know the exact conditions put in place for the Tinted Permit Administration.


Thanks.

I am experiencing same situation with my nissan primera 1998 model, changed the water pump but still experiencing coolant drop in level every other weekend. Is this normal cos my passat hardly ever gets a refill in months

ukata16:
Good day guys,
I noticed that the coolant reservoir of my car (honda accord 98) is at MIN level yet it's always full at the radiator. Now, iv checked for leaks the much I can but can't notice any.
My question is- should I just refill the reservoir with a new coolant, or o a total flush, or is there a reason(negative) for the low coolant in the reservoir?
Thanks for your anticipated contributions

Hmmn... True talk
Just can't bring myself to sell a car I got not up to 4 weeks

There are many cars that will not tolerate regular unleaded fuel, Acura is one of them. The first issue is the gear box and it's the major issue with the mdx. The difference between the Acura and the Honda pilot is the fuel. Same engine but different fuel requirements. The Acura requires premium fuel only. The Lexus350 is a new entrant to our auto market but what we hear from the owners of rx 300 and 330 is not encouraging, black smoke, poor fuel economy and other little issues that the owners can't tell. I once changed the gear box of an Acura mdx 2011 that was bought in cotonou. They added abro atf to top it on their way to Lagos. My advice, be mindful of the oils specified for the car, get good octane booster and enjoy the gadgets and comforts from the mdx.

I don't know why everyone is hailing this Gazuzz guy... what he does is really quite simple. Any mechanic can do it. He goes out to check a car and badmouths it to the intending buyer. Afterall, he would have been paid for the inspection already and has nothing to lose. He had badmouthed two cars I had for sale, I still sold these cars and the users are still thankful to me till tmr. What hurts the most is that he exaggerates the extent of an issue on a car... the only car he approves as good are the ones he sells. As it is, if I pay him to check out the avensis he has for sale, I am sure he will badmouth it. Besides who buys a 1999 avensis converted from manual to auto or who believes a 1999 avensis still has factory ac.

My two cents...

Sent

Phase two. . .

Gazzuzz went to inspect first car. A Toyota camry at Egbeda area. It was advertised here as " extremely clean with zilch issue"

Prior inspection, the seller told me his last price was 1.1M. After inspection, he called me to say he's ready to do 650K

Why?

The auto wizard Gazzuzz!

Come see list of faults and repairs to be done. Seller thought I was sending just anyhow mechanic who wouldn't be able to tell a lemon from a lime. His trap caught him. Ify jumped and pass.

Thank God almighty for a section like this. My previous car was a Toyota Camry 2008 Xle 4 plugs. I fell in love with it the moment i saw it on line in July this year. Everybody say its a good car. The car was being sold in kaduna and i live in abuja. I took an office colleague of mine who seemed to know more about cars to kaduna to inspect and buy the car. Everything seemed okay. Paintwork was like new, leather interior was clean and still looked new, tyres were new, a/c chilling and engine was sweet. I did not hesitate to pay for the car after a little haggling. The sellers in kaduna seemed very honest and told me that that was the best car of its type that i will ever find. i obliged and made a full payment after diving a short distance. (There was fuel scarcity then in kaduna so they refused driving too far from their car selling place).

We got the car registered the following day and drove the car back to abuja with my colleague at the wheel. He told me the car was a good buy and i was happy.

My happiness started slowly coming to an abrupt end when driving home from work one day, i noticed that the sound of the exhaust was slowly growing louder.

The following morning, It struggled to start but after a few kicks it started with the noise from the exhaust now sounding like it had come off. I was so scared it will damage the engine and i immedeiately drove the car to my fathers mechanic. On reaching his workshop, he went underneath the car and saw that the exhaust has broken off where it was welded before. I was curious as why such a new tokunbo car would have a recently welded silenser. I left the car with him because i was already running late for work. He then called me about an hour and half later and told me that the catalyst has been removed from the car exhaust and welded back. I couldnt understand what he was talking about but to replace it eventually cost me N80k. When i called the seller and told him about the issue, he claimed he was not aware of it. I sent him a text that im going to sue him and get the police involved. Since then he has not been answering my calls.

To cut the long story short, i have spent over 300k on this car.
1. New ac compressor with condenser
2. catalysts and silencer
3. Wheel bearings
4. electrician

They also discovered that the car was involved in an accident and was repaired and painted. no wonder the car was looking new. Ac packed up dash board was creaking.
It was a 2007 model and they sold it to me as 2008. Also when i did a check it turned out that the car was LE not Xle and the leather seats were sown here and not factory fitted. Finally there was this irritating rattling noise from the back that nobody was able to detect and repair. I decided to get rid of it at a big loss for what i bought it for. I almost lost my mind because of this incident.

@ cardoctor;
Thanks for this thread.
Im thinking of buying another Camry. maybe a newer model like 2013 and i dont want to make the same mistake again. i Will definitely get in touch with since you do a PPI on any car i find.
